Dietary diversity and the risk of metabolic syndrome in a Japanese population: an analysis of baseline cross-sectional data from the J-MICC study.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWith the increasing burden of metabolic syndrome, it is crucial to focus on lifestyle factors to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.
objectivesThis study aims to quantify the associations between dietary diversity and the risk of metabolic syndrome among the Japanese population.
methodsThis study was conducted using baseline data from the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort (J-MICC) study. The baseline survey was conducted from 2005 to 2014 by recruiting individuals aged 35-69. Information regarding dietary intake and biometric measurements were obtained. Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) was calculated from the data based on the food frequency questionnaire. A multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the association between DDS and metabolic syndrome.
resultsIn total, 75,332 participants were included for analysis. Inverse associations were observed between a high DDS and metabolic syndrome (adjusted odds ratio, 0.83 [95% confidential interval 0.76-0.92]). Likewise, a high DDS was associated with reduced odds of a high body mass index and hypertension. No significant associations were observed between the DDS and serum triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol values.
conclusionThe findings of this study emphasize that dietary diversity has inversed associations with metabolic syndrome. Promoting a diverse and balanced diet can be a potential strategy for mitigating the burden of metabolic syndrome.
